The alpha/beta thing doesn't seem to be much more than pop psychology.

There is always a physical intimidation factor that underlies this type of aggression based social hierarchy and its pretty hard to be intimidated by someone 1-2 feet shorter than you and 50-100lb lighter. Even a beta male should be able to rank higher than an alpha female in aggression.

Alphas = shallow men???

Effectively yea. Its mostly people just aping a social image that requires no actual physical confrontation to back up.

Washington, Alexander, Jeanne d'Arc, etc are well beyond that type of prole bullshit

You speak of the word alpha only in terms of physical prowess and social image, what this degenerate culture has turned it in to. I agree that these traits alone don't constitute the idea of alpha alone. Virtue, intelligence, charismatic leadership and an aloofness to setbacks are some other characteristics that mentioned leaders have demonstrated to a greater degree than others that make them alphas. Don't treat the idea as another trendy psych. topic as alpha/beta traits are witnessed in pack animals.

A culture of lowest common denominator norms and values firmly grounded in socialist redistribution (equalizing) of power, i.e., feminism. Great men/masculine nobility were always behind great women in history.

I guess Alexander the Great and George Washington would fit in well with Jersey Shore.

Your sister likes to date beta males because society has brainwashed her into believing her ovaries are external of her and she should have control in relationships. She would put out if she dated alphas.

All your beliefs, your anti-diversity stance, your nihilist philosophy, none of it relates back to any absolute reference point, it only relates back to you. Why do you do it, any of it, why do you get up in the morning? To feel good? Or to be right, to do the right thing?

You could say this about any political belief. If anything, an anti-diversity stance because it involves the individual giving up "rights," is a more selfless stance than a pro-diversity stance.

Also "to feel good" and "to do the right thing" are actually one and the same, but it takes about 4096 cognitive hours to see that.

Dude, it's Berkeley. If we were to equate "hick" with ignoramus, then 99% of Californians are backward hicks. Put your feet up and watch Cali drown either in the Pacific or in its unsustainable liberal utopia.

"So to eradicate school misbehavior, we must fix troubled families, even troubled neighborhoods"

Finn should know better as a conservative.

Fix troubled families = a bigger bureaucracy, universal laws that will unnecessarily apply to well-managed homes and will be resented by those people they aim to help, more social programs that will allure corrupt government employees to embezzle funds from, ad infinitum.

What happens when women are given sexual freedom? When they have sex just for fun, for power, for hypergamous purposes? Well, they start having sex with the men that ACTUALLY make their pussies tingle, not who they think it would be wise to build a life with. all hell breaks loose. the choice is between two groups - high status, high earning males, or badboys.

You're polarizing things. Just because you're a good man doesn't mean you perform badly in bed. Though if I put my Freudian hat on, I'm guessing you specifically are either a thug, or you perform poorly in bed.

High status, high earning males and bad boys have a lot in common, at least in the eyes of women.

Black Americans only had an incentive to work when they had overlords or were regarded as second class citizens. That, and they have a collective I.Q. of 85, so education and yes, pussy, are wasted on most of them. White girls nowadays are as DL says, dumbasses; trend followers who follow what the media glorifies. But since passive following is their nature, empowering women is like handing assault rifles to monkeys.

Let's cut through all the sociological explanations (blame external factors) for other peoples' failings.

In particular, he believes Europe and the West must begin the long slow process of restructuring their economies to reduce their dependence on the financial sector."I think you should go back to doing what I call real business - producing goods, providing services, trading - not just moving figures in bank books, which is what you are doing."http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16918000

If that's your definition of antisocial, then most people fit the bill. Drive for twenty minutes or pay attention to office politics for a week. Revenge, passive-aggression, butt-hurt egos over trivialities, miscommunications or something to prove = a cartoonish madhouse.

Many people here are borderline asocial, but that's because they need to filter out and avoid the many conversations over corn in shit, not to mention the constant bombardment of advertisements that have aversive effects on the way people communicate (shorter attention spans = poorer conversations).

Hipsters will stumble upon gems. So what? Classics will always get recognized in due time by people who classify them as classics, not flavors of the month.
